Just a thought: How is success measured? Is success measured by how much money you have? Or is it measured by how happy you are? In order to be successful or considered professional or to even be taken seriously is it necessary that you obtain a degree of some sort? A few days ago i was having a conversation about life with a certain individual who is considered to be very successful. (I believe he is myself). He told me that if you are able to hold a thought in your mind for 17 seconds it can become a reality. He also went on to tell me that there are some people in the world who are meant to be successful and some who are just meant to be poor. How is that so? I didnt understand that. Is the key to being successful: wanting something so bad that you will do anything to get it or there? Is it true that one must take risks and fall down multiple times in order to learn and grow? Does one have to hit almost rock bottom and then once this has happened an individual can become successful or is there an easier way? Just a though for any of you who took the time to read this. I am blessed with the opportunity that i have in front of me and i hope one day i can be considered to be "successful" in the eyes of others. Happy Monday Everyone! "Get Fit or die Trying" lol
